Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you
Every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling you
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please, don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you, oh
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you'll have
All you've dreamed of
And I wished you joy
And happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you, you
Darling, I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love you
The lyrics to "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston (originally written by Dolly Parton) are emotional and bittersweet, telling the story of a love that must end.

She promises to think of them always and professes her love for them repeatedly throughout the song. She tells her lover that she hopes they find happiness and love in their life, even if it's not with her, and wishes them nothing but joy and success. The song ends with her stating that she will always love them and will continue to do so no matter what.
This heartbreaking ballad has resonated with audiences for decades, with its powerful vocals and lyrics that speak to the pain of letting go of someone you love. It's a song that has been covered by many artists and has become a classic love song. The theme of the song speaks to the universal emotion of love and loss, making it relatable to people all over the world.

If I should stay
In the event that I decide to keep being in a relationship with you
I would only be in your way
I would impede your growth and happiness
So I'll go but I know
Thus, I'm ending things, but I'm aware
I'll think of you
That you'll always cross my mind
Every step of the way
Every time I move forward in life
And I will always love you
My love for you is constant
I will always love you
I'll say it again, I will always love you
You, my darling you
You're the one I adore and cherish
Bitter sweet memories
Mixed feelings of sadness and happiness
That is all I'm taking with me
These feelings are what I'll keep as I leave
So goodbye, please, don't cry
Farewell, don't shed tears
We both know I'm not what you, you need
We're aware that I'm not the right fit for you
And I will always love you
But my love for you remains
I will always love you, oh
I'll always love you, oh
I hope life treats you kind
I hope life is gentle and kind to you
And I hope you'll have
I hope you attain
All you've dreamed of
Everything you've ever wished for
And I wished you joy
I hope you find happiness
And happiness
And abundant joy
But above all this, I wish you love
But more than anything, I wish you love
And I will always love you
My love for you endures
I will always love you
Once again, I will always love you
I will always love you
I'll always, always love you
I will always love you
My love for you will never die
I, I will always love you, you
Yes, I, I will always love you, you
Darling, I love you
My love, I adore you
I'll always
I will always
I'll always
I will always
Love you
Love you
